Horrible service the girls weren't even paying attention for our order, the drinks weren't what we order or and they tasted horrible, I ask for a caramel macchiato with and extra shot and it was only milk, they just messed up our drinks so bad I had never been so unhappy with a drink from Starbucks like today. read more

Sat in the driveway 15 minutes and watched nothing happen. There's not a bunch of people standing in line inside. I can see right through the windows, so what in the heck is taking so long? read more

Employees are so rude, made my order through the drive thru got to the window nobody acknowledged that I was there didn't even say hi! The place was filthy I know they are busy but you can still wipe the counter down between heating things or making a drink. I think they all need a course in customer service, if you don't want to be there then leave don't take it out on the customer because at the end of the day we are the ones paying your wages! Rant over read more

Been swooping in occasionally for a few years now. Always cool friendly staff, even at 5am! Love to get a flat white on my way to the trails. Clean spacious table area and clean bathrooms too. Keep up the awesomeness! read more

Great Starbucks! Nice baristas! Even when they are super busy the baristas are kind. The best part is the new manager. She's a keeper!!

Review #144 - 2017 I've been to this Starbucks many, many times. I usually stop on my drive to Reno, if I make my drive out before dark. This spot is usually crazy busy during winter because everyone stops here for a hot drink and to use their restroom, of course! I honestly feel bad for the employees here because I have seen this place completely packed inside, while the drive through is also backed up. I have to say that they do a great job at managing the lines and getting the drinks made as quickly as possible. Also, even though so many people go in and out of their bathrooms, thank goodness they have two, they try their best to keep them clean. My last visit here on a Monday evening, while heading back home from Reno, was much different because there was only one other person in line so my drink was done in like 2 minutes. No kidding! read more

Starbucks - My favorite drink... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Colfax, California

Starbucks in Colfax Clean and friendly service here Excellent coffee Anyways this Starbucks is a classic stop for me on the way to and from Tahoe. Got some cold brew with sweet cream and it really helped with the drive. Good resting point with clean bathrooms and WiFi. Drinks are pretty good too! I just really like the vibes of this Starbucks Overall vibe check passed. read more

they don't offer sugar free. With so many people that. Just one more reason to not support them. Dutch Bros is the best.

Unequivocally, this is the worst Starbucks experience I ever had. Coming down from a day trip in the snow, I was feeling the tug in my eyes. I saw this Starbucks from a sign in I-80 freeway so I exited to get some gas and a Starbucks drink so I can continue to chug along the road. I ordered my brother's Caramel Macchiato and my White Chocolate Mocha to go. It took them a ghastly 30 minutes to get my drink! What was worse was I think my order even got lost in the ordering cue, as the manager (I think) finally made my drink. Nothing is much worse than waiting for your coffee for an eternity, when you just want to get home quickly. I grew roots on my feet and was really irritated, I didn't even need any coffee anymore to quell my sleepy eyes. In those 20 minutes I had the opportunity to observe the barista: at least 4 wrong drinks were handed out, calling out the drink without calling out the owner of the drink, and a Green Tea (I think) remake that still has clumps of green tea powder at the bottom. In my slightest hint of objectivity, I did notice that the the drive-thru crew were very much on top of it and was handing out drinks like a boss and the manager who finally got me straightened out made my drinks in a sinch and even handed me a free drink gift card. Umm, but yeah me thinks not for this Starbucks location. read more

I often drive from the Bay area to reno or we are driving from the Central Coast to Reno and stop at this Starbucks. My experience at thsi location usually leaves me frustrated and wondering how a Starbucks could be so poorly staffed. Yesterday afternoon was the pinnacle of bad service, and dealing with a snotty young woman who after I told her the service at this Starbucks is the worst I have ever encountered at any Stabucks she said " then don't come here anymore". Believe me if there was another option in that stretch of the Sierra drive on 80, I would. read more

I love this Starbucks. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I actually drive specifically to this Starbucks even though there is one closer to my home because I prefer this location. I am only sad they discontinued the chicken quinoa salad because it was gluten free and dairy free. BUT the staff has gone above and beyond to make this Starbucks special. read more

Worst Starbucks location EVER! Stopped by here to get a drink. The parking lot was so full that I couldn't even get a spot. This place is located in BFE so I completely don't understand why. Finally got a spot, went inside to use the bathroom first and the line was going around the restaurant. Wow! Waited 20min for the bathroom. Then I had to get into the other line to order. That line took another 10min. The staff were extremely slow, rude, unpleasant and unhelpful! AVOID! read more

Ordered on the mobile app, waited 20 min. after estimated time of 10 min. When I asked what was up they realized they hadn't printed my order, put me at the end of the line and told me it would be another 20 min. This store does not know how to manage mobile orders. read more

Gayle and I stopped here yesterday, as our rest and walk the dog stop on our way up to Truckee to visit friends. This place looks like an old Pizza Hut or other chain and I don't think the Starbucks model has completely transferred. Our biggest issue (and mistake) was trying to park in the right hand area, which is in direct conflict with the drive-thru line, and with tight clearances for both parties. The service was fast and friendly inside, although I found the inside lounge area to be comfortable in an East German sort of way. However, as Tam F. mentions, the bathrooms are clean and the break from a long drive was a welcome one. read more

On July 25 around 1:00 pm or so we were on a long Rv trip so I ordered my drink ahead for a quick stop. It wasn't the greatest place to stop with a big RV so my husband parked in the gas station nearby. I ran in to pick up my drink only to find they hadn't made it because they had no green tea matcha for my drink. Usually the order site will tell you if it's not available. I didn't want coffee so I asked if they could just give me one of their free drink cards to get a drink at another time to replace the drink I already paid for but are not getting. My phone /wallet were in the RV so they couldn't credit me. The young girl started to write my name on a piece of paper. What good is that going to do? I told her I won't be coming back to this store and again I asked if she could just give me a free drink card? I wanted to get moving. She said she would be right back and I assume it was a manager who came out to me. She said, " so what's your problem?" That is exactly what she said!!!!! Are you kidding me? I replied, "I don't have a problem." She then asked what I need? I explained the whole story, which should have already been told to her and asked a third time for a free drink card so I could get the heck out of there. She took awhile to get one because now they have to put money on it. She finally handed it to me without a sorry or anything. Worst Starbucks service ever!!! read more

They were great! Perfectly made drink and SUPER nice... gave my dog a pup cup! Why does Yelp want me to write so much!

I stop in every morning to this location and the staff is amazing and greets me with a smile. I enjoy the small talk since I'm a regular they know me and make me feel like family it starts my day with a smile! Great staff read more

Stopped at this location on a trip to Reno. My drink was made perfectly!! It's a hit or miss at some locations. Quick drive thru and friendly staff. I'd definitely consider this location again as I'm passing thru the area. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Colfax, California

Really bad experience. Went through the drive thru and one of our drinks was messed up. Decided to go back in to get it remade since we wanted to enjoy our drinks and was treated very poorly by the barista up front. I've experienced good service at this store before so I was very disappointed to have been treated so poorly by one of their staff (I think her name was Tammy or Tamara) read more

All though I like the quality of food that comes out this location is the slowest I've ever seen. We even placed our order ahead of time on the app. And still waited 15 minutes. When we finally were able to pick it up and they were out of what we ordered and our coffee was not hot, just a little over warm. So much for ordering ahead of time. This place is consistently SLOW! So if your thinking of a quick stop off the Hwy and continue on your way this is not for you. read more

This Starbucks is decent except for a few weaknesses. I'll start with the most obvious: the bathroom. When I walked into the bathroom, there was what looked like fresh urine on the floor with wet paper towels scattered about. It looked like it had not been cleaned in days. I'm sure it is very difficult to keep a Starbucks bathroom clean when anyone can just walk in. But the condition of that urine stench bathroom is not acceptable. The items on the menu are fine and it is the usual Starbucks fare. The main section of the restaurant is also ok, but could use some more cleaning. The staff was friendly but could have been more attentive. They seemed slow and on their own pace. I'd come back to this Starbucks, it's fine but I'd avoid the bathroom. read more

Sucks. Their breakfast sandwiches are premaid and cold and hard and awful!!!! The ingredients are way off the muffin, but so hard and old u aren't able to pick up the pieces to center them on the muffin. Disgusting really. Same thing at 3 locations so I won't b going back there. This corporate company is WAY overrated. read more

Hot mess. High traffic location that is not adequately prepared to handle it. Skip this location and go to another. Waited 45 minutes. They gave our order to someone else. Manager only offered to refund us, didn't try to make it better in any other way. Didn't care about the inconvenience or the fact that we were still leaving hungry after all that. read more

I was really hoping that one day Starbucks food selection would be really good. I get it though. Coffee and Tea are their thing and they're not a restaurant. It is hard to ignore the fact that the pastries and sandwiches are totally pre made when the barista is cutting them out of little plastic bags and popping them in the case in front of you. They do make the best chai tea and always have the best coffee and coffee drinks. I really like this location too because of the people that work there. Always so nice. :) read more

Absolutely outrageous! If I can give any establishment a negative anything this store got the award. I walked into the store at 4:16. I walked out without my drinks at 4:48! Unbelievable! The barista name Hannah was such a ridiculous hire Starbucks should be ashamed. (There are plenty of names I can call her!). They messed up my drinks and not only did they not make it right away, she said I had to wait longer to get my drinks and screamed "you have to wait in line!" The entire store heard her even the manager Robert! When I asked for the refund, not once did she even apologize! I am so upset right now my heart is still at above 100 like I was racing! Never again!!! read more

Because of it's location between Reno and the Bay Area, this location is the Starbucks I frequent most, at a variety of times - often off-hours. The folks there are comparable in the "friendly/polite category" to other locations, but the service is consistently the slowest of any I've ever experienced. Even when traffic appears slow and numerous people are in view, they are hesitant to even recognize or acknowledge me. They just continue with their other chores (cleaning, stocking, fixing machines, chatting with co-workers) - organized confusion or indifference. It's become our joke and we just have to laugh it off because it's also usually a bathroom stop. Anyway, the customer service at Colfax is flat-out poor and I suspect the operation is badly mismanaged. P.S. I am a Starbucks stockholder and I cringe at this operation. Maybe someone will read this and improve the operation. Please! read more

Speedy service with a smile....very conveniently located as well. Clean establishment. After driving down the road I discover my drink Is nasty, sorry guys! Going to next stop to get it fixed! read more

They got it right! I've stopped here many times, and I always joke about them getting something wrong. Today, my cinnamon dolce skinny latte was yum, strawberries and cream frap for the boy was good, and the pastries for the hubby were appreciated. Service was quick, friendly, and patient with my indesciveness. I think I'm the only person who goes to Starbucks and never knows what to order. Then I get the same thing every time. I'll be back-most convenient stop on way to Sacramento/bay area. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Colfax, California

I bought a coffee mug marked at 50 per cent off. I get to the counter and I ask should I pay $12.50 at the United States price instead of $16.00. The clerk did not know how to answer. She had to ask someone. The guy said I had to pay the price it was marked. Canada price was $30.00. So the mug was not at 50 per cent. read more

This is an ENORMOUS Starbucks - I can only imagine they must get a ton of visitors during ski season! I enjoyed a relatively quiet morning coffee while on my way home recently - friendly young staff, clean kitchen and dining area. It's right off the freeway and easy to get back onto the freeway. read more

Couldn't get the order right (despite the order not being difficult), and the woman on the drive-thru was snotty. There are a lot of Starbucks out there, so I won't be back to this one read more

So busy and such kind employees, super fast, food and drinks exactly what you expect. Thanks for having working baby changing tables in your restroom! High five to you all working this morning! read more

Best Starbucks Drive-through. Cute baristas and how convenient can you get when you've just about to fall asleep on Interstate 80 going 65mph. Viola! Don't forget to check out the siren/mermaid at the roof peak. I've never seen anyone like this one anywhere and I've been in Southeast Asia. Yes, there are Starbucks in Asia. Why the best Starbucks? When they make a Green Tea Latte there is never any primordially green powder ooze in the bottom. Ten for ten. Happy trails y'all. P.S. see my photos for a picture of the siren/mermaid. read more

The stars are for the employees.. very kind.. but 30 minutes for 2 drinks... is too long. Too much emphasis on the drive thru and not on those who come in... poor balancing act by management read more

This store gets a lot of business from I-80 traffic going into or out of the mountains. Bathrooms are always clean. The WiFi is screaming fast, the staff are friendly and quick. Plugs for A/C are under the long table. No complaints here! It's too bad people only leave bad reviews for big chain restaurants. Yelp has been a complaint box for chains....... read more

They really fixed the place up. Happy to see they are taking feedback and taking covid precautions. Went in and got my coffee with no wait or trouble at all read more

SLOW and RUDE. I ordered my drink, it wasn't super crowded in drive thru nor in store. Food cam out after 5 minutes and then two drinks came out after 2 minutes! One drink order was delivered cold not hot as I ordered. I asked if I could please have my drink made hot since that is how I ordered it. The lady rudely stated that she only make the blonde latte iced. I said then why do they offer it hot? She acted like I ordered it cold. So I had to go and get my receipt and show that it was ordered HOT. No apology, no rush, as she made 4 more drinks before remaking mine. RUDE AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Oh and the bathroom is FILTHY!! read more

Our 2017 summer vacation received an unexpected extension, and we left the Bay Area en route to Salt Lake City before 6AM on the Friday before the Fourth Of July weekend. With traffic being sparse, we flew up I-80, avoiding the Sacramento rush hour traffic, and blitzed our way through the Sierras (we'd make the Nevada state line by 9AM). In the foothill hamlet known as Colfax, we pulled over to Chevron to fill up on gas, and more importantly, a stop for human energy. And Starbucks, love em or hate em, usually does this just fine. Apparently this franchise gets its share of visitors (and being the last town of any note before Truckee, this isn't really that surprising), as evidenced by its rather large lobby (arguably the largest coffee shop I've ever seen). While the crew on hand wasn't the swiftest I've ever dealt with, they did just fine (and to be fair the joint wasn't that busy when we arrived), especially considering they also had to deal with a rather overbearing helicopter mom for whom they couldn't quite get the various requirements right. In the end, my white chocolate mocha got me through Elko, the wife's chai latte got her through Fernley, and we were able to do the rest of our 550 miles that day sans caffeinated incident. read more

If placing a mobile order order min of 10 min out. Plan to wait. This is a very busy SB but that is no excuse for Poor customer service. I frequent this on the way up and down from Tahoe and they consistently never acknowledge you standing at bar. And there is always a wait even for mobile orders placed 8 min out. read more
